Chapter 292

Episode #292. Be prepared.

Is it because the effects of the disease still remain?

Or is it because of his natural constitution?

Its body temperature is slightly cool.

that’s not offensive

To put it bluntly, the opposite.

Rather than being cold, the cool body temperature makes the touch of soft lips more refreshing.

Conversely, the tongue sliding between the lips was so hot that it gave the illusion of swallowing a fireball.

The sticky saliva mixed on the tongue mixes with the sweet scent, making you feel drunk.

Lips and lips overlap.

Tongue and tongue intertwined.

The smell permeates.

The moment that one minute, as short as an instant and as long as eternity, has passed.

Maia released her hand from Limon’s collar and took her lips away from him.

And he had a sneer on his slightly reddened face.

“How does it feel to be made fun of by someone you thought you couldn’t do anything about because you gave them grace?”

“…”

“Why didn’t you know I was like this?”

Perhaps it was because of the afterglow of a kiss that was more stimulating than pouring the entire aphrodisiac he experienced for the first time in his long life.

Or maybe it’s because I didn’t know that Maia would come out like this.

Or is it because of the gaze felt from behind?

Maia whispered to her lover, her lips pressed close to his ear as he blinked away from his usual brazen attitude.

“I told you. I’m already broken.”

The green dragon clan is thorough with silver wishes.

But, said Limon.

It is an instinctive defensive posture to avoid getting hurt because they are weak.

But because it’s already broken.

Because I can’t stand this heart.

to get your own.

Even if it meant being hurt, the weak princess, determined to overcome fate and be courageous, smiled coldly.

“I love you and long for you, but I can’t forget my grudge against you either.”

“So I will seduce you.”

“Like you poisoned me.”

look only at yourself

thinking only of yourself

So that you can’t live without yourself.

Just like she thinks about him now.

“I will make you a slave to my love and let you indulge in lust.”

Not because of the contract.

Without the need to use the power of scales.

He said that his eyes would make his heart flutter, and even the smell of his scent would remind him of his own body and make him unable to bear it.

So that you can do anything for yourself.

be happy to accept that fact.

By corrupting Limon.

I’ll make you ruin it like yourself.

Maia, who spoke quietly, ended her words by biting his ear lobe.

“This is my revenge and repayment.”

Cynical, pessimistic and sharp as always.

Even so, with the most bewitching, sweet, and sticky breath.

After listening to Maia’s whispered words, Limon, who had been hardened, waited for a long time.

“…Isn’t that too much?”

“That’s why I didn’t warn you. If you don’t kill me, you’ll regret it.”

gave himself a chance

It was Limon who rejected that opportunity.

So what happens from now on is also his responsibility.

“Be prepared.”

As if whispering to Limon.

Actually look behind him.

Just like when I killed Gula.

Looking at Li Qingyu, who watched Li Mon’s kiss with dull eyes on his face that had no smile.

A woman who became addicted to boiling love and hatred and decided to become poison herself.

And the princess of the most tenacious clan who never stops what she has started until she sees the end.

Curling his lips still smeared with his saliva.

said with a sweet smile.

“I never know to give up.”

[Did I memorize the spell incorrectly?]

Dori Dori.

[I didn’t do anything wrong, but there’s something I’m sorry about? Which part?]

Mumbled.

[…what the hell is this like pouring desert over burning ice and swallowing the moon?]

Whispering.

Yuna-kyung is receiving a magic lecture from She-ra, the ghost of a girl who dwells in a dark violin.

It was nothing new.

No matter how half-bewitched a ghost, Shera was the ghost of a saint who was comparable to the Archwitch during her lifetime.

It was a great help to Yuna-gyeong, a newcomer to magic, even if she gave advice one by one.

Of course, as Yuna-kyung, rather than studying magic, she thought that she would just play with She-ra and pass the time.

But that’s for a while.

Yuna-kyung let out a sigh.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Li Qingyu, who was looking out the window, and asked a question.

[Hey, princess sister. What happened to you when you visited the hospital?]

“Why are you asking that?”

[No, that’s what…]

Yuna-kyung swallowed her words behind her back.

Of course, he left Brazil as if he were running away as soon as he had visited Maia in the hospital.

Since boarding the plane, Li Qingyu has remained silent with his eyes fixed on the window.

Like Limon hanging out like a corpse with his head on the table.

Because the atmosphere was strange.

“If you ask what happened… yes. I did.”

[What’s going on?]

“I don’t want to talk.”

[…yes?]

“I don’t want to tell you.”

[Ah, yes, if that’s the case…]

A smiling face as always.

Nevertheless, Li Qingyu’s answer, which felt strangely pressured, made Yuna-kyung shrink.

It was the first time I had ever seen her so resolutely refuse to answer any questions she could answer.

But maybe that’s why I’m more curious about it.

Yuna-kyung, who could not stand her boiling curiosity, changed the target.

[Hey, team leader?]

“Don’t talk to me… I’m shocked by the feeling of betrayal…”

The answer came back to discredit the fact that he secretly made fire so that only Limon could hear it.

Thanks to that, I was able to keep an eye on it for a while.

Relieved that Li Qingyu did not show any particular reaction, Yuna-kyung tilted her head.

[Sense of betrayal? What kind of betrayal did you suffer?]

“I was shocked 76 times more than when you or Jeongsu rushed to kill me…”

[What happened when you just went to visit the hospital?!]

Half the shame of revealing a dark history.

Half astonished at the answer itself.

When Yuna-kyung was frightened, She-ra’s ghost next to her raised her arms in disbelief and gave a surprised expression.

Limon only let out a sound of pain as he lay face down on the table.

‘Did I make a mistake?’

I thought that with this level of grace, I would be able to wash away the grudges of the past to some extent.

Rather the opposite.

Far from canceling out the love and hatred, it seems as if the interaction caused a huge explosion.

When the cynical Maia sweetly whispered that she would corrupt herself, even Limon got goosebumps in many ways.

Actually, the green dragon clan was originally like that.

As much as he is cruel to his enemies, he is always devoted to his benefactors.

…The problem was that Maia would mix that love and hate with her whole heart and terribly seduce herself.

‘It happened.’

Why does it feel dozens of times more threatening now than when facing Maia, who had turned into a dragon with her bare hands?

The unanswered question gave Limon a headache.

Besides, Maia wasn’t the only thing he had to worry about now.

“Princess, what do you think?”

“For the first time, he seemed very skilled.”

“…Now, other than kissing the princess whose head is broken instead of her body.”

“Ah, is that what you mean?”

from the side [yes? What kind of skills are you doing?

The two quietly continued their conversation.

“Are you okay?”

“no.”

Li Qingyu cut it short.

Is it a minimal response?

Or do you have other thoughts.

Of course, he used up all of his scales for one kiss.

It was clear that Maia would not take action right away, just by the willingness to let the two go.

The problem was on the other side.

“After learning about the eighth dragon psionic, Charlotte will definitely move.”

“Well, the Golden Dragon clan is not a clan that can hold back their greed.”

“It’s exactly what I can’t stand.”

personal powerlessness.

property as a business.

to political influence.

The Golden Dragon Clan, the strongest of the Seven Dragons in every aspect, is therefore the most greedy and arrogant.

To the extent that they buy what they want, even if it costs billions of dollars, and if they can’t buy it with money, they try to get it through other means.

Even more so, what if it is the eighth dragon psionic, which is no different from the long-cherished wish of the Seven Dragons?

can never be alone

I’ll try to get it even by starting a war.

“In a way, it is natural. Rather, it’s also where I’ve been very lucky so far.”

“I guess so.”

Limon shook his head.

In fact, the attitude of the Golden Dragon Clan was extremely correct and natural as the Seven Dragons.

Ainshana proposed to marry even with a stake.

Rose, who kept silent for her own reasons, was rather an exception.

Even if only Maia had declared that she would repay the favor with an enemy, she didn’t know what to do now.

“Is there a chance?”

“Maybe half and half at best.”

“Even if I help you?”

“Because not losing and winning are two different things.”

No matter how strong the Golden Dragon clan is, Limon is a sword master who fought against the Seven Dragons for hundreds of years.

No matter how much power they mobilize, if Limon steps forward, they won’t lose in a simple power struggle.

The problem is twofold.

One is that she and Limon are already defeated at the point of armed conflict.

And the other is…

“The worst is that she might give up on the best.”

“Do you think the Golden Dragon Princess would give up this opportunity?”

“Because she is from the Golden Dragon clan.”

Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.

Charlotte is the noblest princess of the Seven Dragons.

If there was something he wanted, he would ask for it from the front, and he was not a person who would do lowly tricks.

At best, it would be enough to send subordinates separately to invite them.

However, it won’t end there as long as the eighth dragon psionic is revealed.

In particular, if he had even discovered that Limon had it, he was more likely to choose a more reliable method.

“If she was the one I knew, she wouldn’t move. Instead, we will take one action.”

“What action do you mean?”

“That’s…”

Li Qingyu couldn’t finish his words.

That moment.

It was because the phone on the plane rang loudly and I heard Youin’s voice.

[Princess, I have something to report to you urgently.]

* * *

Countess of Sea Serpent.

As the headquarters of the London restoration work, recently the Countess was always busy.

But that was a thing of the past.

Perhaps it was thanks to the generous support of the Blue Dragon clan.

Or is it because of the voluntary cooperation and efforts of citizens?

London’s restoration was progressing faster than expected, and the Blue Dragon clan was also recovering their composure to some extent.

…I couldn’t help but look at Rose, a blue-haired woman who was processing paperwork with a tired face.

“princess? Didn’t you say you were going for a walk?”

“yes.”

“Then why are you back already?”

“Is something wrong?”

“Of course not, but it seems like the walk was too short.”

A knight in fancy armor.

Lucas couldn’t hide his puzzled expression.

immediately after the events of London.

Even when she was busiest, it was common for her to go for a walk and not see her for over an hour.

Somehow, since about two weeks ago, the frequency of going out for walks has decreased, and most of the cases that go out come back soon.

It was a bonus that the stains in his eyes were getting worse.

“…I just didn’t feel like taking a walk.”

“Still, it’s good to take enough rest. It’s not good if you’re too tired.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Pretending to organize papers.

Rose slightly averted her eyes.

That the place of the walk is on the other side of the continent.

About two weeks ago, there was no one to meet, so there was nothing to do even if I went, so I just came back.

And that this tingling is not because of accumulated fatigue, but because of not being able to get a good night’s sleep because of not listening to the performance.

It was something I couldn’t honestly tell even to Lucas, who was close to me.

‘Hmm, you’ve been taking a lot of walks lately, so you must be tired.’

But Lucas believed her words like stone.

He couldn’t have imagined that their perfect princess would be fooling around on the other side of the continent for a walk.

“Come to think of it, while the princess was out for a walk, a letter from Princess Geumryong arrived.”

“Did Charlotte send you a letter?”

“Yes, I haven’t checked the contents yet, but judging from the fact that Fafnir’s seal is stamped on it, it seems to be a personal letter.”

“It’s a big deal.”

Rose couldn’t hide her expression of surprise even as she accepted the letter Lucas gave her.

Charlotte, who was arrogant like the Princess of the Golden Dragon, had other princesses do ghostwriting, because it was rare for her to send personal letters.

But after a while.

The moment I read that letter.

She couldn’t help but harden her face.

“Why is that?”

Is it because Rose’s expression is so serious?

She didn’t answer Lucas’s question, who stiffened her face at the same time.

I just gave instructions right away.

“Sir Lucas, summon the blue dragon squad immediately.”

“You mean right now?”

“yes.”

“…All right.”

At the instruction to prepare the clan’s strongest military force, Lucas put on a serious expression beyond being serious.

But he didn’t bother to ask why.

He just disappeared beyond space to summon the Changryongdae ‘immediately’ according to Rose’s instructions.

Rose, who was left alone in the office, checked the letter written in elegant handwriting once again.

And he said lamentably.

“What the hell did Li Qingyu do?”
